Solutions – what I can do for you.

Branding

My solutions are based on a holistic approach that begins with communication with stakeholders, owners, potential users (Facebook fans?) and of course the client whose brand I am building or updating with care. I listen, watch, analyze, listen again. I learn from the stories of brands that move people and markets.

A well honed- sense of design – understanding what works – is key to my development of a comprehensive brand strategy – corporate or consumer, regardless if this involves revitalizing an existing brand or building a new one. Obviously there’s more to a brand than logo and color or even tagline. But that is the first interaction with the customer or user, it creates an initial impression that sets the tone for their relationship.

Building the Brand cannot be divorced from building the business. This requires research, strategy, design, and a thorough understanding of what the brand intends to project and the business goals it is mean to drive.

Brand Positioning: Critical aspects are: vision, mission, value and culture of the enterprise that is behind (or is the brand) as well as market, social environment and potential target audiences…all that must be defined at the outset.
